The Blot got in touch this weekend to say, well, this:

Hey! Check out this McFarlane Toys Super Powers variant cover to Action Comics #1076 featuring the latest Booster Gold action figure. Kinda crazy. Just learned about it.

Good find, Blot!

According to the original DC Comics November 2024 solicitation, Action Comics #1076 will have six different covers: Cover A, two artist variants, a Creature Commandos variant, a McFarlane Toys variant, and a 1:25 retailer incentive variant. As we now know, this is the McFarlane Toys one of those.

DC's distributor, Lunar Distribution, has this listed as a "ACTION COMICS #1076 CVR E MCFARLANE TOYS CARD STOCK VAR" with cover price of $5.99. The book will be released on November 20, but If you want it, be sure to tell your Local Comic Shop today, as today is the Final Order Cut-off deadline for orders.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Blot.

Skeets comes out of unwilling retirement briefly in 1991's Adventures of Superman #476, though only as the bait for Booster Gold, but it's Superman who will get caught in the time-traveling Linear Man's trap. Trouble for Superman means opportunity for Booster Gold!

Time travel stories always give author/artist Dan Jurgens a headache, too, Lois. Pro tip: It helps if you think fourth dimensionally.

DC released their January 2022 solicitations late last week (you can read them at AIPTComics.com), and I don't want to alarm anyone, but for the third consecutive month, Booster Gold was nowhere to be seen.

It's already been 20 days since we last saw Booster in a comic book, and if solicitations are any guide (and they usually are), we won't be seeing new adventures of our hero until at least February 1, another 101 days yet. That's a long time.

Why is it that just when DC launches the "all in" Justice League Unlimited era, they take Booster Gold off the table?

We ended last week with a comic book you can't have, so let's start this week with another.

This was artist Rod Allen's contribution to last week's CBR.com's "Line it is Drawn" call for more entries for DC's Absolute line. Yeah, the costumes are over the top, but isn't that the point?

Great job, Rod. I absolutely love it.

I'm sure you regularly visit Super-Team Family Presents... at braveandboldlost.blogspot.com, so you've probably already seen Ross Pearsall's latest cover for a Blue and Gold comic book that we'll never get to buy:

Issue #4562 and still just 60¢!

On the Internet, no one can hear you scream (unless their speakers are turned on).

I wonder where Ross will think to put Booster and Beetle next?
